Tarns Bixby has decided not to -eeign his place of chairman of the Dawes commission. The Jrule ap plied to Funston and Miles don't apply to members of the Dawes commission. Guy P.

B. Pal imore of St. Louis stands a good thow of being one of them. One ofthe problems in the northern district is why intoxi cants aro sold openly in nearly every town. At muskogee this is notoriously true, and in the very shadow of a great federal court In the matter of the division of the Northern Judicial district the prevailing question is, "where are we at?" When the provision be comes operative is apparently a secret, known only to its authors. B 0. Stretch made a business trip out northwest in the neighbor hood of Eagle and Kinnison last week and says crop prospects were never better. The unusually large acreage of corn is looking especial ly fine. There is a feeling very manifest in this town that the street work low going on north of the Frisco tracks is a undirected eflort. The business streets of the town need attention first, Is the general opinion expressed. For parentB to allow their child ren to drop out of school during the closing weeks is a great mis take There is a depletion in all the schools of Vinita at this time ety much lo the annoyance of teachers and boards. The recording business at Mus kogee will be a small affair here after. With the eliminotion of the Cherokee country from Mus kogee territory the real business of the, recorder's office at that point will be reduced to n minimum. The wild, fantastic Kansas pol itician that blows hot and cold and la for and Against everybody, and everything but himself is not to be (rusted in Washington. It were himself and friends that ray back and sit down." A great deal is being said about the resignation of Tarns Bixby. It is so unusual for a republionn to resign n good ollioe that tho world stands aghast. This is said to be the year of the seventeen year lo- cubIb, and they will return many limes before another republionn resigns. "The Love of Pat Finley" is the title of a new story written for the New York Evening Post by John M. Oskison. As John is a Vinita boy intoreet will bo takui by Yinita peoplo in bis sncceBs. The story is a romance of cowboy life In the Indian territory in tho early days. It IB earnestly hoped the IlKoli cock bill providing for allotment of the lands of the Cherokee na Hon will pass at the present ses sion of congress. The enaotment into law of that measure would greatly faoilltato the work of winding up the tribal afTiirBJof the Cherokee nation. It now begins to look like the Indian territory would get no settled government until state hood comes statehood with Ok lahoma. The dominant idea in Washington is that it is useless to establish a territorial government for only a year or two as state hood must ultimately oome. As the close of the present ses sion of congress draws nigh it is more and more apparent that the Indian territory will have to wait another year for organized govern ment. It now seems robable that statehood with Oklahoma will finally be agreed on and that the Moon bill will not be enacted. i better for 1 VMie "go wo; , Under 1 1 the new court bill there , will It9 Hfven plitiHH of holding mum in hc northern distric, fix in i lit- Uotrnk" na'ion and Allxini inh Qiapaw reervai.ui Vinita, iNowi , Clarfraorn.

The law should be enforced, and if the president has Iub way it will be enforced, not only against the trusts hut all other violators of the laws of the country. II the present season proves, ai it now seems to promise so well, a good crop year there will be more produced from the farms of this Bection than ever before in the history of the country. There is a far greater acreage in corn and ottier leading crops tiia-i ever be fore, and the hay prospect was never finer at the middle of May. If only these oil and mineral leases which have oomplied with the Cherokee law under whiob they were gianted are sustained by the Secretary of the interior the tribe is not injured in the least. Not one of them has oom plied with the terms of l!u lease and not one of them has produced oil or mineral in pacing quanti ties. W. II.
